As well as the tragic news of young cricketer Phil Hughes, I read today about the sad passing of a great manager and good bloke, John Neal.

Thanks to the Independent again for finding the space for a fitting tribute:-

Always held in high esteem at Chelsea, would imagine there will be a special tribute in next Wednesday's programme.

I used to work with a Chelsea fanzine editor 20-25 years ago and he spoke really highly of the job John Neal did there in the 80's - and he was always very critical of everyone else!
